The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FromTheSoutheast Absolutely Love this ring
It is very dainty (blue stones measure about 1/4 in across the top but over all top from side to side is about 3/4 in. I wear it on my pointer finger and it is stunning. Not expensive at all. It is set in Sterling Silver rather than gold. And I am not sure where the gal before me says it is gold plated. It is not. There is no fine print to that matter. I would not have purchased it if it were plated.
The staff is so helpful. You give them an idea of what you are looking for and they just go right for the rings that fit your criteria. I have now purchased 6 rings and a bracelet from Helzberg and no problems at all.

If you think this is a quality item, read closer. My band turned green and orange after just two months. When I read the fine print, I discovered this ring is plated gold. It must be thin plate, as well.
Go elsewhere or buy a different ring.
